   The food was outstanding. I could not say enough about the quality of the food, but the service was absolutely terrible. I had to ask three times to have my water glass filled. I was served soup without a spoon. I had to flag somebody down it and every time I needed another utensil we didn’t even have salt and pepper offered. We never got checked on to make sure everything was at our liking. I realize that it was Thanksgiving, but it was a very special Thanksgiving and to have to flag somebody down for service when there were so many people walking around last night was outrageous. Our reservations were for 730. It was my best friend Karla and I sitting not very far from the hostess station like I said several people were walking around to have to flag somebody down and nobody noticed our water glasses were empty. I did tip because it was a holiday, but I really didn’t want to.

   The physical layout, design, materials used created a surreal environment. The level of service was top notch in that 7 different people served us over the 2 hours we were there. Live piano player was superb with acoustics and electronics that spread his music throughout the expansive restaurant and bar as gental background music. We had the King Crab Louis and King Salmon. Both were prepared perfectly. Was surprised that Prime rib wasn't on the menu, but every other prime beef was available! We'll make it a regular place to splurge.

   Extremely limited menu. If you want a very expensive steak this is your place. Other options, not so much.

   Excellent customer service from start to finish. The ambiance, the food, and the price point were great as well.

   Our server Amanda was outstanding, very knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious; we really liked the bread service, the crunchy glaze on the salmon was perfect, and the lobster mac and cheese had giant chunks of tasty lobster. The ambiance was enjoyable, there was a live pianist playing a fun assortment of music. There is a heated outdoor deck but not much of a view in the dark, it would be great for a summer dinner though! Access to the restaurant needs improvement: there is no signage inside indicating how to get there, and getting into the parking garage alone took 10+ minutes on a busy Saturday night. If you’re able-bodied try to take the stairs rather than wait for an elevator in the garage.

   Food is overpriced for the quality. I had the porterhouse steak medium rare with blue cheese. Steak was over cooked and greasy. Blue cheese was way too rich and I love blue cheese.

   Smoke & Cedar is a steakhouse with an upscale feel! There was a live pianist for the evening which added to the wonderful ambience! Service was excellent and Jason did an amazing job with timing! He even offered to take our picture while we admire the view form the outdoor patio. This dinner was for a birthday celebration. Although we didn't order dessert, a complimentary mini bundt cake was given to the birthday celebrant. We were also given complimentary bon bons which were perfectly balanced - not too sweet! We started off with a couple of their specialty cocktails and the scallops appetizer. We split the 16oz ribeye 2-way and shared the lobster mac and cheese and asparagus. Dinner was delicious!
